For the Muffins
- 2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (not frozen)
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup non-dairy milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- lemon zest, to taste Cinnamon Topping (optional)
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a muffin tin with liners.
- Step 2: Stir together the optional cinnamon topping ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Step 3: Combine all of the muffin ingredients, except the blueberries, in a mixing bowl. Only mix the batter until it is just combined (over-mixing makes less fluffy muffins). Fold the blueberries gently into the batter.
- Step 4: Pour the batter into the muffin tins, about 3/4 of the way to the top. Avoid over-filling since these muffins will rise while baking. Sprinkle the optional cinnamon topping over the tops of the muffins. Any leftover cinnamon-sugar makes a great topping for grain-free microwave bread.
- Step 5: Bake the muffins for 20 minutes. At the 20 minute mark, raise the temperature up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for another 8 to 10 minutes (this will help give the muffins a better domed shape). Cool fully before handling. For jumbo-sized muffins, you will need to cook the muffins about 10 minutes longer. If doing so, cover the muffins with foil if the tops are over-browning.
- Serve: Enjoy! Freezes well.
